Oh, look at our Sepia Saturday theme photograph for this week : Sepia Saturday 357 - (post your posts on or around the 4th March 2017). Look at that wonderful photograph! How cute. How delightfully cuddly. How playful and adorable. The kid and the dog are quite nice as well. The photograph is entitled "Boy, dog and woman enjoying each others company: Tallahassee, Florida", and comes from the Flickr Commons collection of the Florida State Library and Archives. As usual, all you have to do is come up with some old photograph from you own collection that in some convoluted way matches the theme image.

Before you go in search of a possible match, here is a look ahead at the theme images for the next couple of weeks. And if you would like to see even further into the future, the theme images for the second quarter of the year are now available.

Our theme image this week shows a painting class in Sarasota, Florida in 1945. Painting is all about the image, and it is your old images that we are interested in for Sepia Saturday 356. Just post your posts on or around Saturday 25th February and then link them to the list below.

Before you do so, perhaps you would like to see what lies ahead. Here are the Sepia Saturday themes for the next two weeks.

This week on Sepia Saturday we are feeding the pigeons and, as this is Sepia Saturday, we are also feeding our collective imaginations as well. All you need to do to participate in our Sepia Festival is to do the usual - look, think, and link : look at the theme image, think about photos from your own collection that might fit in with the theme, and then link your post to the Linky List below. Post your post on or before Saturday 18th February 2017. Here is a quick preview of what is coming up in the next couple of weeks:

The title of our Sepia Saturday theme image this week is the undoubtedly descriptive, but nevertheless rather dull, "Assistant Niki Vasilikis in John M. Gonatos' curio shop in Tarpon Springs, Florida" It comes from the Flickr stream of the archives of the State Library of Florida. The title might be dull but there is nothing dull about either the photograph or the shop. Most Sepians should be able to find some element of inspiration somewhere on the crowded shelves. Simply post your post on or around Saturday 11th February 2017 and add a link to the list below. Before you go browsing the curio shelves, here is a preview of what is in store for the next couple of Saturdays.

Here is a preview of the Sepia Saturday theme images for the rest of February and March. We are currently working on the theme images for the second quarter of the year and these will be published soon.

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
